Biography
Nabil Abdel Latif Fadli was born in 1988 in the al-Serb neighborhood of Manbij, Aleppo Governorate, Syria to a Sunni Muslim Arab father and a Christian Armenian mother who converted to Islam after marrying his father, who had been living in Saudi Arabia. In 2013 he joined the Abu Bakr Battalion of the Free Syrian Army during the Syrian Civil War, defecting to Ahrar ash-Sham six months later. When the Islamic State took over Manbij, Fadli decided to pledge allegiance to Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and ended up as a suicide bomber.

On 12 January 2016 he walked up to a tour group standing in Sultanahmet Square, Istanbul, Turkey near the Obelisk of Theodosius and 82 feet from the Blue Mosque. He detonated his vest at 10:20 AM, killing 11 people and injuring 14 in an attack that killed ten Germans and a Peruvian.
